Chapter 1242 The talkative and cruel Dutton (second update, please subscribe)
"Hello, this is Daming!"
Along with the early morning sunshine, the iconic voice of "Voice of America" radio sounded on the radio again.
Radio waves are sent out from all over the world, and are increased in power through relay towers in the north and broadcast to the entire American continent. As long as you have a radio, you can even listen to the "Voice of the Americas" all over the world. It is not only Spanish, but also has English programs.
.
Through radio, people all over the Americas can hear the latest news, listen to beautiful music, and even listen to radio programs - such as the comedy radio "The Troubled Life of Alfonso".
The "troubles" mentioned are actually the happy life of ordinary farmers. That kind of stable and peaceful life is a life that many people can only hope to achieve.
Laughter rang out in the bar again. Although the snow in Huangshi had not yet melted, it did not prevent people from listening to Alfonso worrying about his daughter's relationship. Amidst the laughter, the door of the bar was pushed open.
, the man who walked in was wearing a thick fur coat. This man's black beard was connected with the bearskin coat, but this did not prevent people from recognizing him. Of course, they could also recognize the badge of the Animal Husbandry Self-Defense Association on his chest -
- This is a self-defense group composed of ranchers and cowboys that he organized to combat the criminal activities of livestock theft, and the methods are very tough. The cattle thieves they encountered either died in gun battles or were captured alive and died in their lynchings.
, once a cattle thief is caught alive by them, he will be "hanged on the city gate", and there will also be placards with "horse thief" and "cattle thief" written on them.
Dutton is a talkative and ruthless character. In the past few years, he has hanged no less than twenty people. It can be said that... he has never let any robber go. This is why people believe in him and even follow him.
.In this wild land, only people like this are worthy of following, and only such people can bring peace to this place. What is certain is that Dutton and his livestock police have brought peace to this land.
When peace comes, both Indians and bandits will stay away from here because of his name.
"Mr Dutton."
The people who were listening to the program stood up. Obviously, everyone admired the visitor very much - he was the founder of this city - James Dutton. He came to Yellowstone three years ago and chose this land, and then,
He created the city here and, of course, his Yellowstone Ranch.
Dutton remained silent, just nodded slightly, and then he sat down at the counter. As soon as he sat down, the bartender poured him a glass of whiskey. Everyone here knew him and of course knew his habits.
He sat there in silence, listening to the sound coming from the radio, and asked curiously.
"Willis, what is this thing? There is actually a sound coming from it."
Dutton had not left the farm for four months. After the heavy snow fell, he rarely left the farm. Of course, he didn't know about radios.
"Mr Dutton, it's the radio,"
Wesley said.
"With it, you can not only hear the latest news, but also music and drama. The one we are listening to now, "The Troubled Life of Alfonso," is very interesting."
As soon as Wesley finished speaking, Dutton said with a frown.
"What? Worry? What's the point of a troubled life?"
"Mr. Dutton, you say it's trouble, but in fact it's happiness, the happy life of ordinary people. God, I thought life was just robbers and farms. Damn it, it turns out there can be many things in life."
Black Bear Will's words immediately aroused a chorus of approval, and some even said:
"We have become barbaric in this barbaric land. In the northern territory, I mean the northern territory of the Ming Empire, it is much more civilized than here. There are also farms there and many ordinary people live there. But
There are Imperial Military Police there, and the Imperial Military Police maintain order there. As early as ten years ago, no bandits dared to steal cattle there..."
Even in the chaotic West, what people long for is some kind of stable life. After all, everyone always likes order and peace.
"That's the empire, not the United States..."
While they were talking, the brass bell on the bar door rang, and then a man wearing a camel coat and a top hat walked in. When he saw him, Dutton was stunned.
"print……"
Dutton, who originally wanted to say Indian, stopped talking. Although his appearance looked somewhat similar to that of an Indian, his complexion was fair, even whiter than many white people.
who is he?
He should be kicked out. White people will not let people of color in a bar.
But next time, Will's reaction was beyond Dutton's expectation.
"Hello, Mr. Li."
"Hello Will, are the new carriage bearings working?"
"Sir, the new bearing is really amazing,"
Will said in an excited tone.
"After replacing it, my carriage can pull at least a thousand pounds more in the winter. God, it's really amazing!"
"Aha, it's not God that's amazing, it's science."
Li Chengye smiled.
The so-called carriage bearings are actually bearings made by Empire. Although more than ten years ago, Empire changed the rollers of the bearings into balls and invented the ball bearing. This change in shape greatly improved the service life and durability of the bearings.
Efficiency, although it has been widely used in cars and trains, its application in horse-drawn carriages is still very limited. Many people in the west have never heard of it until last winter, when he brought it and other Ming Dynasty products to
this city.
"Yes, this is the power of science, the power of Ming Dynasty..."
In Huangshi, not many people would think about the conflict between the empire and the United States. For them, the most important thing is survival, and this Mr. Li has brought something that allows them to survive better.
"Willis, is the radio working well?"
While talking, Li Chengye had already sat in front of the bar.
"Yeah, the radio is a miracle, it's awesome."
"Have you thought about it? Are you willing to buy it? As long as..."
Willis said immediately before Li Chengye finished speaking.
"According to our previous agreement, it's $12.50 a month, for a total of twenty-four months, right?"
"Yes, it's yours for only $12.50!"
So a machine that can make sounds actually costs $300!
When Dutton looked at the machine with some surprise, he noticed another problem. It seemed that the bar was not as dark as before, because... electric lights. Until here, he didn't notice that there were actually electric lights here.
When were electric lights installed here?
What has happened here in the past few months?
Dutton was a little strange. He hadn't been to the city for a long time, but who would have thought that in just a few months, not only would there be machines that could receive sound, but even electric lights would appear in this wild land.
superior.
Of course, what he didn't know was that everything was brought by the Ming Dynasty businessman in front of him.
"Mr. Li, he is Mr. Dutton."
After Willis's introduction, Li Chengye smiled at Dutton.
"Mr. Dutton, I have always wanted to visit you, but I didn't expect that we would meet here."
